Appearance[]
Miku is a fairly tall girl, reaching 167 centimeters. She has a lanky, slim figure and pale, cool-toned skin. Her armpit-length hair is royal purple, mostly straight with curly tips and long side bangs framing her face. She usually wears it in a side ponytail held by a brown tie. Her eyes are violet. Miku's usual outfit is a white shirt with a beige collar, worn under a pale purple wool coat, and a long light lilac skirt which reaches below her knees, as well as high white socks and brown shoes.
As Cure Twilight, her hair turns lilac, grows to her waist, and its tips become curlier. It is styled with a white bow tying its end. She wears golden star-shaped earrings and a lilac choker. Her outfit consists of an ombre skirt that transits between blue, purple, pink, orange and yellow, under an empire-waistline purple dress with darker purple details and long, off-shoulder bell sleeves, all under a white vest tied by a purple bow with a golden sun and moon brooch. She also has high white boots with heels, vertical stripes and cloud-like adornments in purple.
Personality[]
Miku is a very sensitive and mature girl, who is rather pessimistic and shy. One year before the series, she used to be cheerful and had a positive outlook on life, but after her brother passed away from a disease, Miku became more melancholic and quiet. Despite her overall gloominess, she is shown to be very kind and is a very good friend.
She is very thoughtful and good with words, but despite this she has a hard time fully conveying her feelings as she never intends to hurt anyone.
Over the course of the episodes, Miku becomes more firm and courageous, and starts to regain some of her positivity, though she continues to be realistic and knows when to stop and rethink.

History[]
Miku was born as the youngest child of Takahashi Airi and Takahashi Minato. She had a very happy childhood with her parents and her older brother, Ryou, who she used to play with all the time. The siblings cared deeply about each other.
She was a very optimistic and bright girl, and others would always compliment her on her talent for singing and composing songs. Sometimes, Miku and her brother made small shows and concerts for their family.
A heart of grief[]
One year prior to the series, Ryou got a serious lung disease, and had to stay in the hospital for months. Miku spent most of her time with him at the hospital, and often tried her best to cheer him up, singing songs to him and telling him that everything would be fine.
However, Ryou's condition only seemed to worsen, and Miku had to watch as she couldn't do anything to help him other than hope he would get better. After seven months at the hospital, Ryou passed away, which made Miku entirely saddened and hopeless. She stopped believing that things would get better, and became much more pessimistic and attached to her past, always stating she wished she could go back in time and stop it when he was still alive.
Moving to Blue Bay City[]
Some months after Ryou's death, Miku's mother decided it was time for them to move on, and decided to go to Blue Bay City, where the family could have a fresh start. However, Airi didn't realize that her daughter was still too connected to the memories of her brother and that rushing to move would only make her situation worse. Miku was very upset about the change, since she wasn't ready to let the past go, but she didn't tell her because she didn't want to make the rest of her family suffer.
Thus, the Takahashi family soon moved from their old town to Blue Bay City, and Miku was forced to say goodbye to her memories and attachments. It was quite difficult for her to adapt to the new place, and she became much more distant to her parents than she was before.
Meeting Asuka[]
On her first day at school, Miku wasn't very excited. When she arrived, the students made questions about her and were very receptive of her. The teacher soon came to class, and asked if there were any new studentsl. Miku said she was new. While the teacher greeted her, a nervous Maeda Asuka knocked on the door and asked to enter. The teacher allowed her to come in, but requested her to be more punctual next time. Then, Miku and Asuka were asked to introduce themselves to the class, since they were both new.
While Asuka made her speech, they were interrupted by the abrupt entrance of Saito Yoko, who was scolded by the teacher for rudely breaking into the classroom so late, and forgot that Asuka was still talking, asking Miku to talk about herself. Feeling insecure and nervous, she rushed in her introduction, but the students seemed to like her sweet and calm demeanor.
